This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

The Art Institute didn't seem to think my style was developed enough.
I think my mind was trying to give me my own version of the scene where Juri is looking up toward the castle when it starts raining after her last battle with Utena where her locket shattered. I love that shot SO MUCH.
>.> I actually go to the Art Institute...they dont like anime really they go for like cartoonish(ex.disney character) style/comic(ex marval) style. They dont like huge eyes razor nose.... though lot of my class mates likes/draw anime but its always on the side....i kinda switch a bit to fantasy cause of wow which helped me a little in keeping in school...now i just draw a hell lot of life drawing to try and get better in that area

My first Utena-related fanart ever is actually up in the fandom section-- http://www.ohtori.nu/fandom/fanart/Lill … Nanami.jpg :D (warning: weird hands & impossible poses abound)
However, the piece that I am the most proud of is this:

I have a new mission in life. Yeah, I'm making a drink named 'Absolute Destiny Apocalypse'. I'll get back to you with details when I have something good.

WHOA
THAT is that icon that's been floating around LJ for ages!!!!! I took it from someone who took it from someone who took it from someone and no one knew who to credit! May I use it and credit you????

.....I just thought of something...
How would you guys feel about a contest over who could mix the best drink on the theme of that picture? I really want to run some good contests on this forum, but I don't know who all is even old enough to do something like that... it might not be worth my time.
Then again, if I emailed Absolut and told them I was running a contest with their vodka, they might offer a sample or two as a prize...
I dunno. What do you think?

I want that in fanart
Thank you!
You can put it there if you want. I was going to send it to you anyway, eventually, but just never got around to it.

Yes, of course! You don't actually need to credit me, because a) I really don't mind that much and b) no one else has, but you you certainly can if you want to. (The, uh, fact that people enjoy it so much is, uh, credit enough? I don't know how to word that so that it doesn't sound like something Barnie would say, but I think my point comes through well enough.)

I think that sounds awfully fun, although I am unfortunately not old enough to participate.

Hmm...I'm surprised it took so much digging to find this thread. Don't we like the fanartseeeeees, preeeee::hackhackboozecatchesuphackhack::
Ahhh...have some art. These are pretty bad, I did 'em at work and didn't spend very much time on 'em, but....hey, whatever. Also, remember, no decent image editing software, and a bad scanner.
So...strangely proportioned.
I wanted to do a Bollywood SKU piece, but Anshii is as far as I got.... And I really don't like it all that much, except for her face.

Does anyone else think that rose-flavored vodka would be a cool idea? I mean, they make it in every other flavor since it doesn't really have a taste of its own...
Offline
I would love to see a Kabab flavoured vodka so all those people who normally be staggering around craving for a kabab wouldn't have to worry anymore as they would be getting it at the same time.

IT EXISTS!
And here's the thing about vodka I've learned. Even if it doesn't come in a bottle (and it probably does) it isn't that hard to make yourself. o; I had a friend who used to fix cheap vodka with whole cinnamon. It was delicious and gave people stomach aches.
And on a vaguelly fanart-related note. Would anyone be interested in reading a fan work done based loosely on this? I've been playing with the idea for a few months now and I already have some sketches and a pretty good idea of the cast. I'll show off my drawings next time I get near a scanner. I lost my tablet in the war. ;/

Hey, er..I don't have any art:(, but I need some help from all of you talented artists...
Well, I want to make Utena episode thumbnails like this guy did for Evangelion you can see them here: http://www.toastyfrog.com/toastywiki/in … ailTheatre.
So, um, if anyone wants to callaborate with me on making my dream come true that would be nice. I can make scripts to most if not all the episodes...I just need to find someone who can make thumbnails of the characters faces and help me write some things. I want to put them on the forum so that everyone can enjoy.. so...well any volunteers?

It could be fun to come up with drinks for all the characters. This would obviously be the theme ingredient...

I'm not old enough but I'd be up for participating. Although, isn't the pre-existing Pink Lady rather apt for Utena?
Man, and all you people are just completely blowing me away with your m4d dr4w1ng sk1llz!!one Seriously, I'm a tad envious (if I did Utena fanart... it'd be a satiric stick-figure multi-panel comic).

Blavod? Huh?

There's a liqueur called "Parfait Amour" that I think would make an excellent ingredient in one of these mixed drinks. Here's a description:
Parfait d'Amour, or just Parfait Amour, is a violet liqueur with a delicate and soft flavour of rose petals and orange, and a subtle hint of vanilla.
In English the name Parfait Amour means 'Perfect Love'. It's aromas and flavours are obtained from Curaçao orange peel, vanilla pods, almonds and rose petals.
I'm a teetotaler, mostly, but there are several liqueur-type drinks that I'd like to try. Parfait Amour always sounded interesting to me.
Random idea for the contest: different drinks for different characters? Or is that too complicated? Forgive me, I'm a newb.

Oh my god. That sounds like stomach sex. I need to find. Anyone willing to fund Giovanna's SKU booze adventures?
BTW Blavod is black vodka. The coloring gives it a small herby taste, but it's black and can be floated on stuff. Perfect for BRS drinks.

Found this on Deviantart. Ivy-chan, you'll love it:

I'm still too young by a year to participate, technically. Although when not in college, I live in the magical land of Louisiana where no one gives a crap. Thank God for good-natured Cajuns and drive-thru daquiri shops.

I remember there was this drink at my Publix called Pink Dragon or something like that and it was literally Utena hair pink with a black and red label. It was pretty amazing. Didn't taste very good, though.
Well anyway, here's some of my mediocre Utena fanart. (Looking back on old stuff is painful!)

(I like how utena came out in this one but I'm telling ya, that door is EVIL. I'm going to be redoing this one.)
Here's a preview of what I'm working on right now.

Thanks! I gotta say I love all the fanart in here already!
